Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday

RIP Andy Singer...the legend. Andy was an excellent businessman, and a BIG man. I rarely saw him smile but was always very professional. He offered to hire me at one point, as long as I brought with me my client list. I did buy a handful of items through S.B.S. Andy, and the entire staff, including Steve G, hated horns at that time, which were my favorite. Yes, Andy and Steve were tight. Again, RIP Andy. My condolences to the Singer family, friends and the audio equipment buyers from the NY, NJ and CT areas. MrD.

I was in the 15th Street store years ago for a manufacturer's rep night.  Can't recall the speakers, but I think it was VAC gear. After the demos, Andy asked me what I thought of the sound. I sheepishly replied that I could never afford the speakers being demonstrated.  He was very gracious and said he didn't care, he really wanted to know what I thought.  I found him very pleasant.  I did listen to some less expensive speakers in the side room with the glass wall.  All I could think was "where's the bass?" RIP, Andy.

I don't remember him but I bought a couple of items there including my first pair of Dynaudios... I think they may have been $1200 for the pair. I owned a small industrial business in Chelsea at the time and always wore jeans which could get dirty. No Rolex. They let me audition the Dynaudios with source material I brought and left me alone. A good experience.

A legend, esp. in NY!!!

Like many here, i happily visited Sound by Singer: it was a great shop. Always felt the staff were very good at answering questions and sharing ideas… it took me years before i could reach “HiFi” status and Sound by Singer certainly helped me with guidance. Andy Singer - be in peace.
